“The go-to place for best practice in health literacy”
We have been in existence since 2008, as a not-for-profit organisation. In 2025 Health Literacy UK became a Community Interest Company (CIC).
What we do
- Provide expertise on health literacy throughout the United Kingdom
- Influence national policy to ensure that the importance of health literacy is well recognised within the health and care system nationally and locally
- Develop new ideas in order to improve practice for the benefit of communities and society
- Undertake, and support, research that contributes to what works in everyday practice
- Host a network of practitioners, policy makers and other parties with an interest in health literacy
